2- Cut and Glue OR Draw the NC organisms on the construction paper. 3- Use arrows in the correct direction to show the flow of energy. REMEMBER: The arrowhead should point AT the organism that is CONSUMING the other organism. 4- Label each organism according to their place in the food web. (Ex: Producers, 1st Consumer, etc. and Herbivore, Carnivore, or Omnivore)
Begin by folding a piece of paper taco style, forming a square. Cut off the excess rectangle tab formed by the fold. Open the paper and refold the opposite way. Fold the paper along the diagonals and add lines as seen in the drawing below:
In the middle lined section, fill in the following (beginning at the bottom/largest spot). Include the definitions of each trophic level. EX: Producers: Organisms that create their own food through chemical reactions like photosynthesis. You should use the terms herbivore, omnivore and carnivore
Producers
Primary Consumer
Secondary Consumer
Tertiary Consumer
On an adjoining side, fill in the corresponding organisms name (seeds, mouse, weasel, and fox)
On the other side, draw a picture of the consumer.
When all sections have been filled in, cut along one of the diagonals (adjacent to the blank section) until you reach the center point. Fold the blank triangle into the center and glue.
